Easy raw vegan chocolate mousse

So today I am definitely happy to show you the recipe for this easy raw vegan Chocolate mousse. I usually do chocolate mousse with“real“ vegan chocolate, but this time I wanted to try a raw one. I think it turned out quite well and no worries here, you won’t smell the avocado at all. (Let me tell you this as a Non-Avocado eater!)

This was the first recipe I did after I had a long time off baking and creating stuff. Not that I was not motivated or something, but I started to experience a scary pain and burn in my chest and this kind of freaked me out.
One thing about me is that I am terribly afraid of dying. Especially when I am sick or when I experience irregularities in my body. It keeps me up at night and I am talking myself into bad scenarios. It’s not an easy fear to just work through are get rid off, because, well, I’m going to die.

I felt like sharing this, because thoughts were haunting me while writing this blogpost. Just wanted to leave it out of my head.
BUUUUT
Now let’s leave this creepy topic and today the only dark thing should be this dreamy creamy chocolate mousse and not my thoughts.

To make the chocolate mousse you need NO baking or cooking skills at all.
You literally just combine the ingredients and let the magic happen.
The only thing is to have enough patience to blend the mixture long enough until there are no cacao crumbs or dates remains. If you are just working with a hand mixer, I suggest to soak the dates overnight in order for them to be really soft.
